What remains of the palace of the first kings of France, the Conciergerie became a prison during the French Revolution.
Formerly the île aux vaches (cow’s island), here you’ll find the most beautiful 16th and 17th century houses, constructed for the most part by architect Le Vau.
The oldest stone bridge in Paris, it was opened in 1606. At its centre, you can see the equestrian statue of King Henri IV, nicknamed Vert Galant (The Green Gallant) because of his many female conquests.
With its façade hinting at its past life as a railway station, constructed in 1900, it today serves as a museum displaying masterpieces of the 19th century, and more precisely, the work of the Impressionists.
Recognisable by its dome adorned in fine gold, it was originally built as a hospital for the war wounded under the reign of Louis XIV. Today, it houses the tomb of Napoleon I and the Musée de l’Armée (Military Museum).
Built for the 1937 World Exhibition, it houses various museums (the Naval Museum, the Museum of French Monuments, the Museum of Man...)

While the welcome is perfect, the staff is very friendly, professional, and attentive, and the meal offers a very good quality/price ratio (including for the children's menu), it is unfortunate, to say the least, that the "routine" maintenance of the boat leaves much to be desired. We had this lunch cruise on a scorching day (35 to 40°C outside), and not only was the air conditioning too weak (if not nonexistent), but also nearly 1/3 of the ceiling blinds were missing, which made us feel like we were in a greenhouse. This is absolutely not normal and spoiled a good part of this day. These are lamentable savings and reflect a total lack of respect for the customer by the management of Bateaux Mouches. What a shame because, as mentioned above, the staff and the meal are very good, hence the "Average" rather than "mediocre" or even "Horrible."
Cher Client, Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous écrire. Nous sommes profondément navrés pour tous les désagréments causés par cette vague de chaleur exceptionnelle qui frappé la France depuis quelques jours et nous mettrons tout en œuvre pour améliorer la gestion des situations de crise à l'avenir. Vous remerciant pour votre compréhension et indulgence. Bien cordialement, L'Equipe des Bateaux-Mouches
Very good experience. Smiling staff who are attentive to your needs. Excellent food. Good value for money
The organization was terrible. We were hundreds of people waiting for a boat. They direct us to one door and open another, and in a small hallway, many people try to enter. We looked like cattle trying to enter the slaughterhouse. And then on the boat, you can't see any of the people that are there. I do not recommend this company at all.
We had a wonderful time with friends. The choice of dishes allowed my guests to enjoy according to their tastes. A big thank you to Clara, our main waitress, as well as to the entire team who contributed to the smooth running of this meal. A very good choice for celebrating my birthday. I recommend this option.
The ride had expectations, then it wasn't so much. At noon, on a sunny day the cabin was not equipped, air conditioning was lacking, too hot.
There is no guide to tell you what landmarks you are seeing, we liked that. The food was excellent and there was a man playing the piano, very peaceful.
I was looking for what to do in Paris and came up with this idea of taking a fly cruise on the scene
Beautiful weather, delicious end-to-end meals, very considerate cruise agents, very pleasant. Moment of sweetness and wonder. To do!
The tour was cancelled due to high river level but the tour operator was great with communication and refunded us in full without argument
When we arrived we were not on the list they have, but luckily they solved it and finally gave us the passes. Due to rain we couldn’t make the whole route, but also with all these unforeseen events, it was a very nice experience. I recommend it.
